The Pekaji has a flat, magnetic base that makes full contact with the cooking zone, with no loss of heat conduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eForged carbon steel, hammered finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel is the material of the traditional wok: it heats fast, reacts immediately to temperature changes and holds its heat when you add cold ingredients. That's what makes the difference when you're searing meat or stir-frying over high heat. The hammered pattern on the Pekaji is the mark of forging rather than added decoration. The flat base makes full contact with the induction zone, with no loss of magnetic surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNo coating. No PTFE, no PFAS.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pekaji has no non-stick layer, no PTFE and no ceramic top coat. Bare carbon steel. Once seasoned, a natural patina builds up and gets stronger with every use. Looked after properly, this wok cooks better after a few years than it did on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA coated pan goes the other way: it scratches after a couple of years and ends up in the bin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSeasoning: required, not optional\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new carbon steel wok ships with a thin coat of oil to stop rust. First, wash the wok thoroughly with hot water, washing-up liquid and a brush. Then dry it, rub a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil over it, and heat until the wok smokes. Repeat 2 to 3 times. Don't skip this step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWooden handle with hanging loop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long wooden handle stays cooler than a metal one and gives you a secure grip when you're stir-frying over high heat. There's a metal loop at the end so you can hang the wok to dry, which is the quickest way to keep rust away. The handle and lid are wood and don't go in the dishwasher: hand-wash and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo sizes: 28 cm and 30 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 28 cm suits 1 to 2 people. The 30 cm is 1 cm deeper, so it gives you noticeably more room to toss ingredients, for 3 to 4 people. Both sizes come with a solid wooden lid, so you can steam and simmer as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n28 cm: depth 8.5 cm · usable capacity approx. 1.7–1.9 litres · net weight 1.1 kg · wooden lid included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n30 cm: depth 9.5 cm · usable capacity approx. 2.2–2.4 litres · net weight 1.25 kg · wooden lid included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsable capacity is the practical fill level for stir-frying, not the volume to the brim. Both sizes stay light enough to lift and toss the wok while you're cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInduction: flat base, magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas: direct flame, for high wok temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic: flat, stable base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric: full contact with the hob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare: never in the dishwasher\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUncoated carbon steel and the dishwasher don't mix, and the wooden lid and handle don't belong there either. Clean the wok with hot water and a soft brush, dry it straight away and wipe on a light film of neutral oil. Less than two minutes of routine that protects the patina you've built up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e30-day returns, on top of your statutory 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wok House","offers":[{"title":"11 in (28 cm)","offer_id":42230775546041,"sku":"FLM-7302239387833--11-in-(28-cm)","price":79.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.80 in (30 cm)","offer_id":42230775578809,"sku":"FLM-7302239387833--11.80-in-(30-cm)","price":89.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8388\/3449\/products\/flat-bottom-cast-iron-wok.jpg?v=1651701682","url":"https:\/\/www.the-wok-house.co.uk\/products\/the-pekaji-flat-bottom-carbon-steel-wok","provider":"The Wok House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
